East Stroudsburg man who escaped police found after car crash

A man that first escaped from police but was later found is now facing DUI and other charges.

State police at Swiftwater said Sean Sambolec, 27, of East Stroudsburg, was the driver of a car that slid off the road on Seven Bridge Road near Eilenberger Road around 2:20 a.m. Saturday. When police responded to the scene, the car pulled away south on Seven Bridge Road without its lights on.

Troopers followed him, but called off the pursuit after a short chase. However, a search of the area found the same car crashed at Music Center Drive and Franklin Hill Road, with Sambolec still in the car. He had minor injuries, police said, but refused emergency care.

Sambolec faces charges of fleeing and eluding police, DUI and other traffic violations, according to police.
